As frustrating as that is (and I’ve had my share of it to know), if I turn the feeling upside down, maybe there is an iron triangle of cost, error rate and customer service responsiveness. If the price attraction rate is higher than the customer losses represented by product error times the fix error rate, then you win. If the error rate is pushed too far or the customer service white gloved, then costs must be higher.

I haven't asked why I would want a cross platform development. I asked how it looks compared to developing natively on the platforms you want to support.

I know very well why I would want cross platform development, it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

The benefit is simple, write once run it everywhere. Oh wait, is that trademarked by Java? Or is their slogan Write Once, Debug Everywhere?
"colored people" is a wonderful illustration of this farce because NAACP kept the name so long that it went from preferred to offensive and almost back to preferred, with "people of color" being the PC term in US (and "people with Foo" becoming dispreferred to "Fooed people" or "Fooed"/"Foo", and "racialized" being the PC term in Canada (which would be horrifically offensive in the US).

At least my research is. Mainly due to hierarchical pressure. And from what I see around me, most medical papers must be read with a healthy dose of skepticism. I've personally witnessed incredible feats of dishonesty that I won't describe here.

There are multiple reasons degrading research quality. An important one is spreadsheet incompetence. Another one is that medical research goes hand in hand with academic achievement, which in medicine also means money and power (probably more than in most other fields). I guess we have the same kind of problems as everyone else, overall.

One thing people often miss is that clinical data is of abysmal quality and reliability, so honest analysis is really difficult.

This is exactly what I'm talking about in my other comment.

Look at the french definition on wiki for example:

"The word socialism covers a very diverse set of currents of thought and political movements1, whose common point is to seek a fairer social and economic organization. The original goal of socialism is to achieve social equality, or at least a reduction of inequalities2 and, especially for the Marxist-inspired currents, to establish a classless society. More broadly, socialism can be defined as a political tendency, historically marked on the left, whose basic principle is the aspiration for a better world, based on harmonious social organization and the fight against injustice. Depending on the context, the word socialism or the adjective socialist can qualify an ideology, a political party, a political regime or a social organization."
Wouldn’t be surprised if this is Koch-funded, just like the Great Barrington Lie.
HN is about a lot more than just startups.
This article is completely hypocritical to be coming from Tom Friedman. He has been one of the primary cheerleaders for globalism which has been a major driver of corporations gaining more favor from the government. This favor has been in the many forms including favorable trade deals (to China and the companies that manufacture there), ignoring the environmental impact of manufacturing in China which hurts all people especially the citizens of China, lax immigration enforcement (which led to more competition for the workers and cheaper labor for the companies), and ultra low interest rates that make it difficult for people to save money without buying overpriced assets and accepting extended risk.

where i live specificaly, indian occupied kashmir, we have been in homes since 5 august 2019, no internet, no movement, no phones, no business, no schools till march, then corona happened and lockdown.

the thing is, i deal with asmall businesses all day, its my job but i have seen something like 90% drop in sales, many businesses folded and bank loans continued because credit sales arent getting paid and expectation is if i continue selling, some revenue will pass.

8 million people.

i personally dont own a credit card, dont have any loans and as a result, my income is spent on food, electricity and office staff salary, rent. i cannot imagine taking on a loan and repaying it back in these uncertain times but my clients are and its very difficult for the whole system.

i have a teacher relative who in his 50s has taken huge loans because he had no house for his family. today his salary is going to 60% bank, 30% school fees of children and rest is used at home. i can only imagine if he is let go or something happened to him. sad state of affairs
But isn't that implied by 'social ownership'? That means, society owns production and thus decides who shares in it? That's where they get conflated, I think.
So you decide to cherry pick one single thread benchmark out of many to decide that AMD wins in single thread lol. In most benchmark, m1 is much faster than 4800u in ST.
Okay, so it's union types plus pattern matching that are missing (among other things I'm sure). Thanks, that's helpful.

> You cannot safely "match" on the command in the same way you can in other languages, because the compiler doesn't know that there are only exactly 3 types of commands.

Perhaps the visitor pattern? Command processing receives an object and calls its command method, which knows what permissions it has.

I guess the fact that I have to keep saying "patterns" is a hint that some flexibility is missing. Still, I'd rather have Java/C++ static types than nothing at all.
The fact that they're called loopholes at all is problematic.
The meme will probably die when it's no longer true, and when we actually fix the massive economic inequality that exists in our society. The things you listed are not really socialism (rent and mortgage forbearance is not socialism; socialism would be getting rid of the whole landlord/renting system entirely, replacing it by some form of public ownership). And these things are only occurring during a global pandemic, and are not par for the course in our society.
I'd rephrase it thus: over the last thirty years, the rich become rich by being the subset of "business" that actually gets to be capitalists. Manufacturing is only allowed overseas and only the importing companies make money, while the rest of us get screwed over by the depreciating currency.
As an engineer, I love examining the details. I think the M1 is a great processor, but the performance advantages have been greatly exaggerated.

As an end-user, I just don't care if my CPU is 4 threads or 16 threads or 5nm or 7nm or 15W or 20W. I only care about the price, how fast it handles my workloads, and how long the battery lasts. I think AMD understands this angle well.

> Freedom of speech is not protected by the constitution on social media platforms and, frankly, I don't want 100% free speech on social media.

The issue here is that a few monopolists have managed to capture so much of "the Internet" that competition is nearly impossible.

The current situation seems untenable: tech oligarchs deciding arbitrary rules on their own whims and for their own purposes, with no due process, on platforms that are impossible to actually compete against.

The obvious solution is breaking up the monopolies so meaningful competition is possible, and continue allowing platforms to moderate as they see fit. But tech oligarchs write big checks to politicians, and it's hard to imagine there's much appetite for biting the hand that feeds.

> I would imagine that on the Android side of things are also not that different.

You would indeed imagine that, but the reality is less rosy.

1) Android is stuck on an off-brand Java stack that makes desktop Java seem pleasant by comparison. They are finally starting to make headway on replacing this with Kotlin, but most shops are still heavily invested in Java.

2) Android's UI framework is a weird hybrid of legacy and modern controls, and it only fairly recently that it has been capable of accomplishing things like a long scrolling list without memory/performance headaches. Before that everyone had to use 3rd party controls for complex or performance critical apps.

4) A lot of time spent setting up toolchains, SDKs, etc. God forbid your project incorporates C++ dependencies.

6) Google may provide Android itself, but each chip vendor then layers on their own special sauce, and finally each handset vendor layers on ever more special sauce. Add to that the historically abysmal adoption rate of new versions of android (and many vendors not providing upgraded OS versions for their older hardware), and the odds of being able to use a newly-released Google feaure/API are... not good.
"Peer review" is not "have someone else re-do the experiment". That's just not feasible, especially since reviews are done without pay. It's not realistic to expect people to spend more than a few hours reviewing a paper. That amount of time is barely enough to check for overall conceptual issues and maybe flag some really glaring deficiencies. (And then conclude with 'accepted with minor revisions', those 'revisions' preferably being 'add these three citations to my paper, that'll push your paper into 'acceptable' territory'.)

"Misuse" is something of a judgment call though. Pretty much any photo makes choices of perspective, framing, etc. There are certainly cases of clear distortion but, especially in the context of distancing, arbitrary photos--even with "'normal"-ish focal lengths can tell very different stories depending upon where the camera is pointed.
I think a big issue is company mergers and acquisitions. For a while now, the bigger is better mentality has ruled.

Additionally, we've let too many companies buy up competitors. For example, Facebook purchased Instagram and Visa tried to buy Plaid.
>HN is about a lot more than just startups.

Of course it is. I just thought I'd point up (given the title of the referenced article doesn't provide any real context) the startup angle as a direction for discussion.

No one needs to take that up, of course. But as the submitter I thought it worthwhile to mention.

> But you're now presupposing the AI finds humanity curious.

Yes. I am assuming that a vastly more intelligent thing than human would be almost by definition more, not less, interested in pretty much everything. Obviously that thing has more capacity to be interested and understand different things. Super intelligent thing not interested in how different things work just... does not sound that intelligent to me.
Mm, I recently read Revelation Space after years of being slightly put off by the various covers I'd seen it clad in (I know, I know) and was elated to find a 'stand-in' for my beloved late IMB. So similar in many ways - I was quite annoyed at myself for not having taken the plunge prior.
Which is fine, as long as you don't mind being outcompeted and replaced by a system that is able to phase out stable boys.
IKEA has several “tranches” of cheap furniture.

Some of it is solely designed to hit a price point (“a $10 chair”) and is made of cheap plywood, cheaply connected.

Some of it is more the “can we pick some low hanging design fruit, apply massive scale, and create a decent chair for 20% of the price it would normally cost” variety. That furniture normally lasts a long time.

I enjoyed the suggestion I found somewhere that the NAACP should replace the problematic term "Colored People" in its name with "African Americans".
The only solution is a crop of AI- guided systems that trade with high frequency to get in front of this information. That will likely smooth out some of this rockiness, and give way to entirely information driven markets (no fundamentals). This would be more akin to a kind of celebrity based market.
I feel like some people groan when they hear “pair programming” but I really do find it invaluable for knowledge sharing and making sure any member of the team can support many pieces of the system. It also helps devs get a clearer, shared unified vision of the direction of the code that they’re collaborating on and bought in to.

I don’t think it needs to be religiously followed, but it’s something we do a fair amount. It’s probably the best general practice that at least feels controversial.
Having worked in both academia and industry in biotech field, I have to say that the bar of reproducibility is a lot higher in industry.

In academia, the goal is to publish. The peer-review process won't care to repeat your experiments. And the chance that other lab repeating your experiments was slim -- why spending time repeating other people's success?

In contrast, in industry, an experiment has to be bullet-proof reproducible in order to be ending up in a product. That includes materials from multiple manufacturing batches of reagents, at multiple customer sites with varying environmental conditions, and operator with vastly different skills.
Apparently iOS?
You can't find one that allows you to publish at scale. Screaming alone or in a tiny venue is very different than being able to publish to millions.

Everyone's words and ideas should be able to live or die on their own merit, and not be bottlenecked by shitty hosting and blanket domain bans in posts/DMs.

There are tons of places where you can post stuff; Facebook will happily censor DMs between consenting adults that contain your domain name when they want to share links to your content to others.

Become too unpopular (or, more accurately, increase in popularity too much with the "wrong" people) and your host will cancel your account. There aren't that many datacenter operators.

> The workers owning the means of production

This has lost a lot of its relevance since when it was originally coined in XIX century. I mean, what are the means of production in companies like CD Project Red? The laptops and workstations? Employees can easily afford them. Since we've moved beyond the factory-based model of capitalism, it's become clear that it's not the control of means of production that is the central issue.

It is unclear to me what it would achieve compared to a spog (subject, predicate, object, graph) based representation like it exists in RDF based triplestores.
My experience is that there's a ton of value there, but the trending tab is like a siren call I can't resist even though I regret it almost every time. Usually I can't imagine why something is trending, click on it and lose ever more faith in humanity.
True. It will render the web and certain CAPTCHA systems entirely broken.

What we need instead is more control on what can be accessed with javascript. Things like screen and window size, locale etc. should all be spoofable and configurable by default. We also need a sophisticated firewall and control matrix right in the browser.

I can already do a similar thing for mobile apps on android. I spoof what permissions they can use and what data they actually get. That can include sophisticated things, such as stripping EXIF data from any image before an application gets access to it. Or a simple popup that asks whether an application can access the clipboard once.

I can't even fathom how most people live without such finegrained control. The only hope is a new browser that respects the user from the beginning.

I don't think the psychological effect will last very long among most of the population, based on two observations. One is that whenever lockdowns have been lifted in Europe, restaurants and pubs swiftly went back to being packed – and even now some restaurants in e.g. Italy and Poland are defying the restrictions and reopening, and still getting queues of people waiting to enter.

And not only does concern among younger generations about the virus vary widely, but many touristic locales that attract crowds of elderly people, the predominant risk group for COVID, were just as crowded in summer 2020 as any other year, with little regard for distancing.

As other people say, something like 10% more effort to reach 2 platforms rather than a single one.

But _also_ (and that's no small deal), these cross platform framework often benefit from a huge skill transferability from web development, eg React Native or Vue Native. This is a massive deal, it means you can get a web dev to be productive on a mobile app pretty much immediately (and potentially you use the same technology as for your web app, which itself is also a big deal)

Open Redirect on Archive.org
this is being abused on various social networks such as twitter

the high authority of the archive.org domain makes it hard to bloc and the nature of the redirect means spiders cannot crawl it, making better for spamming purposes

Here it is

https://t.co/jyCOKb4E3h?amp=1

It involves a long piece of JavaScript which I have not been able to decrypt what it does but I can modify the exploit to redirect to any page. This piece of JavaScript is able to break the frame in way that is undetectable to archive.org.

Steps to reproduce: You create a webpage with the JavaScript, archive it, and then point to the page like this

http://web.archive.org/web/XXXXXXX/http:yourdomainhere.com

the JavaScript https://jsfiddle.net/hnu4q5bm/

this part "://wi" which is the only obvious readable part of the code can be changed to any url

Yup thank you. Web is only now coming to terms with desktop application development world of doing things.

It was mostly tongue in cheek but it would be interesting to see how the public reacts to such a declaration. If actually implemented I am fairly confident that countermeasures could be taken to avoid casualties and collateral damage, but historically those things get pretty slippery over time.
